No. There shouldn't be absolutely none unless there was sometype of written agreement. However, if you are still receiving any type of payments and a job offer was made as in your case there may very well be an issue.

You can reapply whenever you like - there's definitely no set timeframe. Some companies do have their own requirements when it comes to re-hiring staff, but these usually relate to reference checks which must be made and what scores you got on your last performance reviews. Maybe you're getting confused with the fact that after you are made redundant, an employer must wait one year before they can hire anyone to do the job that you got made redundant from. Nothing to do with you re-applying.

If you are made redundant I don't think you can go back to the same employer for 6 months otherwise you lose out on the redendancy settlement, check your redundancy terms and conditions.

You would have been made redundant because your job ceased to exist. If they are now hiring you for a different position, presumably things have moved on (as they do in business) and you will be doing a different job.

I don't think the employer can have any claim on your money. I'm in the same situation after 18 years with Royal Mail but i would'nt go back 'cos there are too many people i'd beat up.

Inland Revenue may well try to claim Tax on your Redundancy payment ....
NB. "6 months" is not a 'rule' = only a commonly accepted time limit

Other than low pay I don't think so as you've done them a big favor.
You are basically falling into a 'con' they would of found it extremely difficult to lower your pay had they not made you redundant. Common albiet seedy practice.
